DIRECTIONS FOR USEIMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be read carefully in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.

NOTES

Keep livestock out of treated areas for at least 3 days and until poisonous weeds such as ragwort have died and become unpalatable.

For best results apply GALA when weeds are actively growing. In newly-sown crops, seedling and small weeds are more susceptible to GALA and will respond quicker when treated at this stage. Vigorous crop competition enhances control of the more resistant weeds and prevents weeds which germinate after application from becoming a problem in the crop.

Crops undersown with grass may be sprayed provided the grasses are tillering.

Do not apply to crops undersown with clover or other legume-containing mixtures.

GALA will only produce optimum results when the weeds are actively growing and the crop competitive. This is particularly important with cleavers, especially where HBN's are not included in the tank mix (e.g.tank mixes with Ally).

GALA is of low volatility and is therefore not subject to vapour drift.

Do not spray in windy weather and avoid drift onto non-target crops/areas.

Do not treat crops under stress. Stress can be caused by many factors including frost, drought, waterlogging, trace element deficiency, disease and pest attack etc.

Do not spray if night temperatures are low or if frost is imminent.

GALA used alone is rainfast one hour after application.

Do not roll or harrow 7 days before or after treatment.

Wash equipment thoroughly with water and detergent immediately after use.

Traces of GALA can cause harm to susceptible crops sprayed later.

MIXING

Add the appropriate amount of GALA to clean water in a half-filled sprayer tank, mix thoroughly and add the remainder of the water. The spray mix must be used immediately and agitated continuously during mixing and until application is complete.

VOLUME

Using standard nozzles the recommended spray volume is 150 to 400 litres of water per hectare. The lowest water volume should only be used in very open crops on small weeds. On later applications where the crop is dense, the spray volume should be increased to 400 litres water per hectare. The minimum recommended pressure is 2 to 3 bars.

SPRAY QUALITY

Apply GALA as a MEDIUM spray as defined by the BCPC system.

~HBN's are products containing ioxynil and/or bromoxynil. HBN recommended tank mix partners are MAPP 14697, 14511, 14696.

Two-way tank mixes with other broad-leaved weedkillers

GALA is compatible with Dow Shield 400 or Ally. The addition of the recommended rate of Dow Shield 400 will control mayweeds and corn marigold up to 50 mm. The addition of Ally to GALA will broaden the weed spectrum. Refer to the Ally label for weed susceptibilities, timing of application etc. for these mixes.

Where Ally is being used in tank mix with GALA it is important to spray in good growing conditions when the weeds are actively growing, particularly for control of cleavers.

CROPS AND TIMING

Winter wheat and winter barley

GALA alone can be applied from the two leaf stage of the crop up to and including the boot swollen stage (Zadoks 12-45 inclusive).

GALA tank mixed with HBN's~ can be applied from the two leaf stage of the crop but before the second node detectable stage (Zadoks 12-31 inclusive).

Winter oats, winter rye, durum wheat and triticale

GALA can be used on winter oats, winter rye, durum wheat and triticale from the two leaf stage of the crop but before the second node detectable stage (Zadoks 12-31 inclusive). The timing of application of GALA mixes depends on the tank mix partner but mixes should not be applied after the first node detectable stage (Zadoks 31). At the present time there is no recommendation to use GALA on triticale in tank mix with any other herbicide.

AUTUMN APPLICATION TO WINTER WHEAT AND WINTER BARLEY



† The higher rate will generally give more consistent results particularly if growing conditions are not ideal.†† The higher rate is essential for control of cleavers.

GALA will only produce optimum results when the weeds are actively growing and the crops competitive. This is particularly important with cleavers. Do not spray if frost is imminent.

Autumn applications will not control weeds which germinate after spraying. In most circumstances a follow-up spray will be necessary to obtain season long weed control.

CROPS AND TIMINGWinter wheat and barley onlyGALA alone or in tank mix with recommended HBN~ partners can be applied from the two leaf stage of the crop until the end of February (but not after the first node detectable stage (Zadoks 31). After the end of February, ‘Spring Application’ recommendations apply.

GALA PLUS REDUCED RATE OF HBN FOR CLEAVER CONTROLRates of UseGALA herbicide at 0.75 litre/ha can be mixed with 0.25 litre/ha of an approved formulation of HBN (MAPP 14697, 14511). The tank mix of GALA + HBN at the rates above will control cleavers up to 250 mm high or across.

Crops and TimingApplications can be made to winter wheat, winter barley and winter oats, and spring wheat sown in the autumn or in the spring. Application to winter oats should be delayed until risk of frost is over. Applications should be made in the spring from the two-leaf stage of the crop but before second node detectable stage (Zadoks 12-31 inclusive).

VOLUNTEER POTATO CONTROL - WINTER WHEAT AND WINTER BARLEY ONLYWARNINGSThese warnings apply only for this high rate recommendation of 2.0 litres/ha of GALA. They do not apply where GALA is used at the standard rates for annual broad-leaved weed control (0.5 to 1.0 litre/ha).

Avoid overlapping spray bouts.

Straw from cereals treated at these rates and timings with GALA may contain residues which could damage certain crops. Straw must not be incorporated back into the soil. When straw is disposed of by baling and carting it should be used only for animal bedding. Manure from such animal bedding should be used on or before cereal or grass crops only.

DO NOT PLANT WINTER BEANS or other legumes in the same year as this treatment with GALA.DO NOT PLANT PEAS or other legumes in the spring following this treatment.DO NOT TANK MIX GALA WITH ANY OTHER PRODUCT when used as recommended as above.

NOTESGALA will only affect shoots which have emerged at the time of spraying. GALA will not give complete control of top growth. However, a good degree of stunting can be expected, which will reduce the competitive threat posed to these crops by this weed. Because volunteer potatoes can emerge over an extended period, sprays applied later in the recommended period will generally give better results.

The main factors for obtaining successful results are that there is sufficient actively growing green foliage on the potatoes and that good coverage of this foliage is achieved, for example by use of sufficiently high water volumes. In addition to the control of volunteer potato haulm this use of GALA will give a useful reduction in the viability of daughter tubers.

WEED SIZE CONTROLLEDPotato shoots from 10 cm up to 40 cm in height.

RATE OF USE AND WATER VOLUMEApply GALA at 2.0 litres/ha in 300 to 400 litres water per hectare using standard nozzles.

TIMINGApply GALA anytime from the third node detectable stage of crop growth up to and including the flag leaf ligule just visible stage (Zadoks 33 to 39 inc).

FORAGE MAIZENOTESDo not apply in tank mix with any other product or if the crop is beyond the recommended growth stage.

Avoid boom overlap.

WEEDS CONTROLLEDGALA will control black nightshade from cotyledons up to 6 true leaves. It will not control black nightshade which has not emerged at the time of application.

RATE OF USE AND WATER VOLUMEApply GALA at 1.0 litre/ha in 200-300 litres of water per hectare.

TIMINGApply when maize is between the 3-6 leaf stage and before the crop is over 20 cm tall. Do not apply once the buttress roots (side roots) have started to develop on the first node.

GRASSLANDNEWLY SOWN GRASS LEYSWEEDS CONTROLLED

RATE OF USE AND WATER VOLUMEApply GALA at 0.75 litre/ha in a spray volume of 200 to 400 litres of water per hectare to give good coverage of the weed.

Use the higher volume of water where weeds, especially common chickweed, are large at the time of spraying and where the grass is dense.

TIMINGApplication timing is crucial and GALA should be applied when weeds are actively growing.

Autumn applicationApply GALA in early autumn when the grasses have at least 3 fully expanded leaves. Best control is achieved if GALA is applied when the weeds are growing actively.

Spring applicationApply GALA to newly sown spring leys when grasses have at least 3 fully expanded leaves.

Common nettle 2.0 Spray when actively growing but before flowering (normally up to mid-June). A reduction in top growth only can be expected.

Dandelion 2.0 Spray when actively growing but before flowering (normally up to mid-June).

Dock (curled andbroad-leaved)

2.0 Treat in the spring when the docks are in the rosette stage, 15 to 20 cm high. If the grass has been cut for hay or silage or grazed over winter, leave for 2 to 3 weeks to allow sufficient regrowth to occur before spraying.On large well-established docks, or where there is a high reservoir of seed in the soil, a second dose the following year may be required.

Bramble, broom 2.0 Spray in June-August when actively growing but before plant begins to senesce in the autumn. It is essential that, particularly with large bushes, all the foliage is thoroughly wetted or incomplete kill may result.

Apply GALA at 2.0 litres/ha in a spray volume of 300 to 400 litres of water per hectare to give good coverage of the weeds.

TANK MIXES

Where tank mixes are used, and unless directed otherwise, the preferred order of addition of products to the tank is as follows: water dispersible grainswettable powderssuspension concentrates (flowables)emulsifiable concentratessolution concentrates

Each product should be added to the half-full sprayer tank and be fully dispersed before the addition of the next product.

GALA can be tank mixed with a number of other herbicides to broaden the spectrum of weeds controlled. These other herbicides may have crop, timing, varietal and other restrictions that are different to those of GALA. Tank mixes should only be applied within label recommendations of every product in the mix.

GALA should be applied in tank mix with other products only if any requirements or restrictions on the other product label do not conflict with the requirements or restrictions for GALA.

Tank mixes should not be allowed to stand in the tank and agitation should be maintained at all times.

For the latest advice on tank mixes with GALA please contact Dow AgroSciences or your distributor.

Skin contact: Take off contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap and plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. Call a poison control centre or doctor for treatment advice. Wash clothing before reuse. Shoes and other leather items which cannot be decontaminated should be disposed of properly.

Eye contact: Hold eyes open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eyes. Call a poison control centre or doctor for treatment advice. Suitable emergency eye wash facility should be available in work area.

Ingestion: Immediately call a poison control centre or doctor. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by a poison control centre or doctor. Do not give any liquid to the person. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: Aside from the information found under Description of first aid measures (above) and Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed (below), any additional important symptoms and effects are described in Section 11: Toxicology Information.

4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment neededNotes to physician: Skin contact may aggravate preexisting dermatitis. Maintain adequate ventilation and oxygenation of the patient. If lavage is performed, suggest endotracheal and/or esophageal control. Danger from lung aspiration must be weighed against toxicity when considering emptying the stomach. The decision of whether to induce vomiting or not should be made by a physician. No specific antidote. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient. Have the Safety Data Sheet, and if available, the product container or label with you when calling a poison control centre or doctor, or going for treatment.

SECTION 5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES5.1 Extinguishing mediaSuitable extinguishing media: Water fog or fine spray. Dry chemical fire extinguishers. Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers. Foam. Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) are preferred. General purpose synthetic foams (including AFFF) or protein foams may function, but will be less effective.

Unsuitable extinguishing media: no data available

5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixtureHazardous combustion products: During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in addition to combustion products of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating. Combustion products may include and are not limited to: Carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide. Hydrogen fluoride.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Container may rupture from gas generation in a fire situation. Violent steam generation or eruption may occur upon application of direct water stream to hot liquids. Dense smoke is produced when product burns.

5.3 Advice for firefightersFire Fighting Procedures: Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Consider feasibility of a controlled burn to minimize environment damage. Foam fire extinguishing system is preferred because uncontrolled water can spread possible contamination. Use water spray to cool fire exposed containers and fire affected zone until fire is out and danger of reignition has passed. Fight fire from protected location or safe distance. Consider the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Immediately withdraw all personnel from the area in case of rising sound from venting safety device or discoloration of the container. Burning liquids may be extinguished by dilution with water. Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire. Eliminate ignition sources. Move container from fire area if this is possible without hazard. Burning liquids may be moved by flushing with water to protect personnel and minimize property damage. Contain fire water run-off if possible. Fire water run-off, if not contained, may cause environmental damage. Review the “Accidental Release Measures” and the “Ecological Information” sections of this (M)SDS.

Special protective equipment for firefighters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers, boots, and gloves). Avoid contact with this material during fire fighting operations. If contact is likely, change to full chemical resistant fire fighting clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus. If this is not available, wear full chemical resistant clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus and fight fire from a remote location. For protective equipment in post-fire or non-fire clean-up situations, refer to the relevant sections.

SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Isolate area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering the area. Keep upwind of spill. Ventilate area of leak or spill. No smoking in area. Eliminate all sources of ignition in vicinity of spill or released vapor to avoid fire or explosion. Vapour explosion hazard. Keep out of sewers. Refer to section 7, Handling, for additional precautionary measures. Use appropriate safety equipment. For additional information, refer to Section 8, Exposure Controls and Personal Protection.

6.2 Environmental precautions: Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or groundwater. See Section 12, Ecological Information.

6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Contain spilled material if possible. Pump with explosion-proof equipment. If available, use foam to smother or supress. Small spills: Absorb with materials such as: Clay. Dirt. Sand. Sweep up. Collect in suitable and properly labeled containers. Large spills: Contact Dow AgroSciences for clean-up assistance. See Section 13, Disposal Considerations, for additional information.

6.4 Reference to other sections: References to other sections, if applicable, have been provided in the previous sub-sections.

SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE7.1 Precautions for safe handling: Keep out of reach of children. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Do not swallow. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid breathing vapour or mist. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep container closed. Use with adequate ventilation. No smoking, open flames or sources of ignition in handling and storage area. Electrically ground and bond all equipment. Containers, even those that have been emptied, can contain vapors. Do not cut, drill, grind, weld, or perform similar operations on or near empty containers. Use of non-sparking or explosion-proof equipment may be necessary, depending upon the type of operation. See Section 8, EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION.

Component Regulation Type of listing Value/Notationfluoroxypyr-meptyl (ISO) Dow IHG TWA 10 mg/m3 hexan-1-ol US WEEL TWA 40 ppm

RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS SECTION ARE FOR MANUFACTURING, COMMERCIAL BLENDING AND PACKAGING WORKERS. APPLICATORS AND HANDLERS SHOULD SEE THE PRODUCT LABEL FOR PROPER PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND CLOTHING.8.2 Exposure controlsEngineering controls: Use engineering controls to maintain airborne level below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, use only with adequate ventilation. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations.

Individual protection measuresEye/face protection: Use chemical goggles. Chemical goggles should be consistent with EN 166 or equivalent. Skin protection

Hand protection: Use chemical resistant gloves classified under Standard EN374: Protective gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms. Examples of preferred glove barrier materials include: Polyethylene. Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate (“EVAL”). Styrene/butadiene rubber. Viton. Examples of acceptable glove barrier materials include: Butyl rubber. Chlorinated polyethylene. Natural rubber (“latex”). Neoprene. Nitrile/butadiene rubber (“nitrile” or “NBR”). Polyvinyl chloride (“PVC” or “vinyl”). When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with a protection class of 5 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 240 minutes according to EN 374) is recommended. When only brief contact is expected, a glove with a protection class of 3 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 60 minutes according to EN 374) is recommended. NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a particular application and duration of use in a workplace should also take into account all relevant workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection), potential body reactions to glove materials, as well as the instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier. Other protection: Use protective clothing chemically resistant to this material. Selection of specific items such as face shield, boots, apron, or full body suit will depend on the task.

Respiratory protection: Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to exceed the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, use an approved respirator. Selection of air-purifying or positive-pressure supplied-air will depend on the specific operation and the potential airborne concentration of the material. For emergency conditions, use an approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus. If vapors are strong enough to be irritating to the nose, or eyes, the OEL is probably being exceeded. Special ventilation or respiratory protection may be required. Use the following CE approved air-purifying respirator: Organic vapor cartridge with a particulate pre-filter, type AP2.
